Akuna Brass Catcher Demonstration Forbidden On Ebay



Yesterday without warning, ebay pulled the auction for the Akuna Brass Catcher, the ultimate brass rat that catches your brass as it is expelled.

EBAY says no pictures of guns. Not airsoft guns, real guns, nor drawings of guns. I guess they think if we don't see them on ebay we won't see them.

Here's their response after reconsidering.

We are redoing the ad without the demonstration to be able to offer the first ever for sale.

AKUNA BRASS CATCHER
